When I first put on light 42 it makes me look SUPER pale and seems ridiculous, but then it oxidizes and it looks alright. A *bit* too light but not terrible. I had a near oompa loompa look going on when I went with light 44 so I definitely am not going to be using that shade.
I'm NW13 too (roughly, sometimes I think I need to mix it with NW10 and see what happens). I hope Light 42 comes back in stock soon, I want to try it. The SA at Sephora sold me Light 45(!!!) and I looked jaundiced, though I loved the finish.
OMG light 45 is NOT the right shade for us! HAHA.
Have you tried it with a lip primer?
Yesss Middy I sure did and it helped somewut but they quickly patched up... I use MAC Prep and Prime for lips
I keep hearing ppl complain about these. Especially Motorhead. I own a couple of them from the mini set that came out over the holidays and my motorhead is smooth as a peach... so weird that the mini formula is better. I guess I'll just be using it til the mini runs out and will not be purchasing full size. Sad though, 'cause it gives me TTT vibes without the patchiness.
Well I'm glad it worked out for u!!! Mine was just a mess no matter how much primer and liner I laid down... Oh well I still have Living Legend and Lingering Kiss from MAC and the old Homegirl formula just to name a few to satisfy my vampy lip craving
I hear you! It's just so disappointing when you have high hopes for something and it turns out to be crap. I don't have those MAC vampy ones you mentioned so I'm glad my Motorhead mini behaves lol. Do you have Fixed on Drama as well?
No I've been trying to get my hands on TTT but have been unsuccessful! I have many vampy lips tho including a few from Nyx, Nars, OCC, beauty supply store brands and of course MAC! I knew Motorhead was trouble when I swatched it at Sephora but bought it anyways having high hopes as u said lol... Oh well haha
So weird right? I'm glad it's not just mine that are behaving. I wish Poe, though, that was in that mini set *pouts* lol
Mine doesn't go on patchy unless I try to apply too quickly. But I am the type that applies a couple of layers of lipstick so it may not be as much of an issue. My problem with Coven is pairing it with outfits! I have ONE dress I can wear it with and it look right. Or I guess an otherwise all black look would work.
I returned Coven as well but never used it because I did find a much cheaper dupe, especially since I'd only be wearing the color every once in awhile... I had also read about Coven's patchiness and wasn't in the mood for another $21 plus tax/Studded Kiss letdown... I ended up ordering Nyx Macaroon lipstick in Lavender and found that they are very very close in color... Lavender is a creamy dream
How do u like it compared to Coven???
Pretty close in color but much, much creamier!
